The SEQ Division comments on the Draft Rural Futures Strategy

Meeting the Challenges of the Future - A blue print for environmental practitioners

Climate change, water, sustainability and energy are the major challenges of the future. Finding lasting solutions will need an
even-handed consideration of the economy and society as well as the environment. Long gone are the days when solutions
were a simple matter of trading off the environment against development interests – we now know we need both to
prosper.

Developing and implementing solutions to these four priority issues represents an important test for society.
We must find answers; a failure to do so will compromise our prosperity and lifestyles.

Environmental practitioners have a new and important role in addressing these challenges.
